A B and C share profits in ratio (5:3:2). C retires. Goodwill is ₹100000. What is C share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹20000

The correct answer is A: ₹20,000. First add the ratio parts: 5 + 3 + 2 = 10. C's old profit-sharing fraction is therefore 2/10, or 1/5. Goodwill of the whole firm is ₹100,000, so C's share is ₹100,000 × 2/10 = ₹20,000. This is the amount considered for the retiring partner's goodwill claim, subject to the partnership agreement and the stated accounting treatment. Option A is correct because C's ratio part is 2. Option B, ₹30,000, uses B's ratio part 3. Option C, ₹50,000, uses A's ratio part 5. Option D, ₹10,000, would represent only 1/10 and does not match C's stated share. The ratio must be used as a fraction of the total, not as a percentage of the wrong base. Exam cue: retiring partner's goodwill share equals total goodwill multiplied by that partner's old fraction.
